 * Using WP 4.0.1 and CF7 4.0.2 with Contact Form 7 : Wysiwyg Field 1.5 results 
   with an error in CF7 when adding/editing a form. Add the bottom under the “Additional
   Settings” box, the error says:
 * `Warning: Parameter 1 to wpcf7_tg_pane_wysiwyg() expected to be a reference, 
   value given in /website.dev/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 505`

 * I know this was 5 months ago, but I just installed this plugin today and ran 
   into the same error.
 * The solution is to edit wysiwyg.php inside the main plugin folder, and then change
   line 134 from this `function wpcf7_tg_pane_wysiwyg( &$contact_form ) {` to this`
   function wpcf7_tg_pane_wysiwyg( $contact_form ) {`.
 * I also changed some plugin options to have the full editor instead of the “teeny”
   one, but that’s outside the scope of the thread.
